Author Fading in/out images. Please help!

Hi,

Wondering can you help me please. I've written a small applet that
uses a thread to display small pictures one after another. The images
are small and stay on screen for about 3 seconds. It then abruptly
disppears to be replaced by the next image.
It's pretty simple stuff really. Nothing terribly sophisticated.


For example to load up an image:

Image img = getImage(getcodeBase(), "1.jpg");
etc

The thread stuff is pretty straighforward too:

public void run()
{
Thread myThread = Thread.currentThread();
while(imageThread = mythread)
{
repaint();
image += image; // increment image
}

} // end run()


The problem is though I want to *fade* each image in and out to be
replace by the next image. However I don't know how to do this
exactly. Can anyone out there help me please? Any
suggestions/comments/
code-samples would be most appreciated....

Cheers,
Al.

I think this would most easily be solved by looking around the net fro
Applet special effects, and just use the code.
